Require and fund improved visibility of road markings to make driving safer

Petition Details

The Government should make it a legal requirement that all A roads have a painted nearside line and reflective studs on all painted lines, and fund local authorities to do this on their roads. This should improve night time visibility of road markings.

Additional Information

Nearly 2,000 deaths and 25,000 serious injuries occur in the UK every year. Some of these casualties could be avoided with better night time visibility on the roads. The current condition of the roads is sufficiently poor with the amount of potholes and ageing tarmac and in addition to that night time driving in the winter months with bad weather can be challenging and very dangerous.
